This paper proposes an enhanced gain saturation model of nonlinear semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) by incorporating material-dependent gain compression factor. The rate equations are utilized with the extra gain compression term for Indium-Gallium-Arsenide material-based SOA to account for t...
